Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C) The title is helpful in establishing the play as a comedy of manners because it makes use of witty wordplay.

Explanation:

This play by Oscar Wilde, follows the lives of John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff who engaged in some deception in order to escape their social responsibilities and add excitement to their lives but things take a turn when those deceptions are discovered.

From the beginning of the play, we can tell that the play will be a comedy due to the response by Lane to Mr. Moncrieff when he asked Lane if Lane had been listening. Lane's response featured witty wordplay by sarcastically suggesting that listening to Mr. Moncrieff play was impolite.

What title should this story be????

In 1773, The girl was named Jess the only child of her honored family, she was 12 years old and she looked like her mother. Jess is pretty smart and wants to end the war so she can let people live, go to school whoever is poor or royal. Jess lives in Boston, Massachusetts. Jess doesn’t want to go to school, unless the war is over because she keeps thinking “How will the war end?”. So she kept asking them and they told her that we will win no matter what. But she wont believe it until she sees it, Jess wants to go to school but how will she go? Find out after reading the whole text!!!!!
Jess was involved in the Boston tea party and she wanted to stop it. So she asked Benjamin Franklin that if they could stop the tea party , he was involved in the tea party. But Franklin told her “We do not want violence but they asked for it, little girl”. There was tea involved, but nobody was drinking it. The Boston Tea Party was a protest by the American Colonists against the British government.
So Jess was mad and she did not know why they were arguing about that. So she went to the other side and told them, ``Why do you argue about this?''. That vice captain told the captain that she is from the other side, and the captain got mad. The captain got mad, and he asked her “What do you want?”. She was not scared and replied “I want you to stop going against the tea party, I want to go to school”.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA” said the leader laughing out loud that he cried of laughter. “What can a little girl like you do against us?” said the leader. She said “ As many as you can”, “What?. Don't you dare talk back to you” said the leader. The captain was serious, and told the mens to kick her out now!
When the captain told the mens to kick her out, she was so mad and then she did something that she was not supposed to do as a kid at her age. She burned their base and then she ran away. Almost 30-40 people died and the rest survived including the captain. The other team saw the fire and they thought it was an accident made by them and they attacked. So after they won and named it the boston tea party after their victory. They were also told they had to pay high taxes on the tea. This tax was called the Tea Act. It actually was a lot of tea. The 342 containers totaled 90,000 pounds of tea! Jess went to school after the tea party.
THE END
Jess solved the problem by burning their base.
Their life gets better after they finish and get to go to school.
They plan to get education and be smart to get a job.

It's crucial to keep patron supporting local artists because they bring more to your community than simply beautiful artwork. Many creatives genuinely care about improving the quality of life in their own neighbourhoods through their work.

What supported an artist or special worker?

A commissioning agent, a mentor, or a muse are examples of these. We consider these people to be a member of the artist's support network as long as they generally “aim” to affect the art or art-making process and the artist intends to receive assistance from them.

A patron is someone who contributes money to a certain cause or individual. The term “patron of the arts” is still used today since patronage has historically been associated with people or organizations that support artists.

How does Black Hawk's rhetoric in this excerpt advance his viewpoint that in order to save their own culture, Indians must defeat the white men? We told them to let us alone; but they followed on and beset our paths, and they coiled themselves among us like the snake. They poisoned us by their touch. We were not safe. We lived in danger. We were becoming like them, hypocrites and liars, adulterers. lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers.
A: He uses direct address to emphasize his point that white people are evil by nature

B: He uses imagery to reveal the thoughts and feelings of the Native Americans

C: He uses a source to demonstrate how Native Americans are different than white people

D:He uses figurative language to convey the idea that white people morally corrupt Native Americans ​

Answers

Answer:

D: He uses figurative language to convey the idea that white people morally corrupt Native Americans.

Explanation:

In the 1832 surrender speech by Black Hawk, the Indian leader expressed his hatred for the white people who came only to destroy his land and his people. The main idea of his speech was to emphasize the need for the Native Indians to fight against the whites and preserve their lands and traditions.

In the given lines from the speech, Black Hawk uses figurative language to describe the whites. He uses a simile, comparing the whites to "snakes . . . coiled themselves among us like snakes. They poisoned us by their touch." And they have made them "hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers." Through this imagery, Black Hawk conveys the idea that white people are morally corrupt and must not be trusted.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

What does the word base appear to mean in this passage? What is the dictionary definition? Do you think Frankenstein has a good argument for not making another monster? Why or why not?

Chapter 16, pg. 195: "'You may render me the most miserable of men, but you shall never make me base in my own eyes. Shall I create another like yourself, whose joint wickedness might desolate the world? Begone!'"

Answers

Answer:

The word base here seems to mean that Victor Frankenstein refused to despise himself, think of himself as lowly, as the monster may have seen or thought him to be.

The dictionary defines "base" as something that is low, or the source of something, the beginning point (as a noun) and as a verb, it means a 'foundation' of some sort.

Victor's refusal to make another monster is a good argument because, as far as he knows and is concerned, the monster had only brought pain and suffering to humans. And so, if there is another like him, then there is no saying what will happen in the future. One monster is better than two.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is a gothic novel revolving around a young scientist's desire for greater knowledge. This led him to create a living creature from dead human parts, akin to the role of a god in giving life to another.

In the given passage from Chapter 16, the monster had requested his creator Victor Frankenstein to create a companion, a female for him. But Victor refused, declaring that it will only "desolate the whole world."

The use of the word "base" in the passage is suggestive of Victor's refusal to be deemed lowly, weak, to despise himself, etc.

The dictionary definition of the word "base" is as a noun, to be the lowest part, the support or source of a thing. And as a verb, it means the foundation, the location, etc.

Frankenstein has a good argument for refusing to create a companion for the monster because then, they will only create more havoc and death to humanity, as that was all the monster had done till now. Victor sees the monster as nothing but an "abhorrence", a mistake (if applicable) and would only lead to the end of the human race in the world.
